I've been able to thwart them the last two years. Last year, a little bit, but two years ago [the American League MVP Award and AL Cy Young Award-winning season] was just one of those years where this just didn't happen.
We will bond our over our shared love of Philly sports, argue about how many Cy Young awards Jonathan Pettibone will win in the next decade, heckle Jayson Werth, and maybe even share our musings on what the Chip Kelly era will look like if we’re feeling intimate.

Those two guys are pretty impressive. You talk about Verlander: Cy Young, MVP. He's really good, look at history ... And then you look at Yu Darvish. Last year, he was really good, and this year, he's a lot smarter. And I definitely think that Yu Darvish has some of the nastiest stuff in the game. So it's going to boil down to who executes the right way, fundamentally sound baseball, and it's going to be not too many runs scored in that game.More quotes »
